OTC Pain Relief
Aleve (naproxen sodium) is also my drug of choice. It was recommended to me by the Rebif nurse who visits me at my home twice a year. It is supposedly easier on the liver than Tylenol. It is not uncommon to have a change in liver function while on Rebif so the less stress put on that organ the better. If I run out of Aleve I will take Tylenol, but that is not my preferred drug.

I will use tylenol if I absolutely have no other choice. I also use Aleve or Advil (not at the same time! If I use Aleve - then I don't touch Advil for at least 24 hours - be careful not to mix your NSAIDs unless your dr. advises you otherwise) .
They may be easier on the liver, but they can be very hard on your stomach. I always make sure to eat a little something when I take them.
I have to play a balancing game with my pain meds because I also live with a very touchy migraine problem. Too many pain killers can cause rebound headaches/migraines. It makes it challenging to figure out what to do sometimes.
